Door Handles (exterior)




Rover P4 and Reliant Regal/Robin



















I bought some new from a Reliant dealer in 1991 - however, the chrome was rather worn already on the new handles!

Steering Wheel




The original 17" wheel is prone to cracked plastics and rusty spokes.






A replacement is available in Stainless Steel from:




MYRTLE PRODUCTIONS LIMITED. 2 Wilbrough Road Birchington Kent CT7 9DY

The Myrtle replacement Jensen 541 steering wheel has been enhanced and strenghtened by the use of stainless steel for the inner core and spokes.This wheel remains faithful to the original design yet at the same time negates the common corrosion problems all so often found with the original wheel. Chrome option available. Please contact us for details.

Shipping Weight: 5Kgs

Price: £325.00

Someone who has bought one of the above says it is a great improvement over his original wheel and worth the steep price!




Rather than spend too much time restoring my original item, I have purchased a 16" Motolita woodrim, a repro Jaguar XKE item.






And as seen in Han Kamp's car:

Polka dot alloy (door shuts)




When the doors are open, a considerable area of aluminium can be seen on the door shuts and kick plates. This was originally cut from a flat sheet, with some small areas of beating/reshaping. The pattern is now rare - it is shared with the dash panel of vey early Jaguar E-types. Aston Martin sell a "polka dot" but this is actually a hatched pattern. I have found that AH Spares sell large sheets of the material at a reasonable price.
